Discover Myrtle Beach

Before Europeans arrived, the Long Bay area was home to the Waccamaw, who traveled the river and fished along the shore near Little River, and Waties Island, the main barrier island on Long Bay, has burial and shell mounds. European settlers came in the late 18th century and tried to extend the plantation system toward the ocean, but the sandy soil produced poor indigo and tobacco. Before the Revolution the future Grand Strand was nearly empty. The Withers family received land around Withers Swash, and Mary Withers's gravestone says she "gave up the pleasures of Society and retired to Long Bay." George Washington spent a night at Windy Hill, now part of North Myrtle Beach, on his Southern tour and was guided across Withers Swash toward Georgetown by Jeremiah Vereen.

More about Myrtle Beach

In 1822 a strong hurricane swept R.F. Withers's house into the ocean, drowning 18 people, and the family abandoned the coast, which returned to forest. In 1881 the Burroughs and Collins Company of Conway, forerunner of Burroughs and Chapin, bought much of the Withers land. A post office called Withers opened at the old swash in 1888. On February 28, 1899, the company received a charter for the Conway and Seashore Railroad to haul timber from the coast, and daily service began on May 1, 1900, with two wood-burning locomotives, one of them nicknamed the Black Maria. Around 1900 the growing community was known as New Town before it took the name Myrtle Beach. Sources Wikipedia: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
